Facts

Why should I have my roof renovated?
All roofing materials have limited lifespans. This can be reduced by harsh sunshine and climatic conditions. Organic growth such as moss and lichen can also contribute towards the deterioration which also leaves you with an unattractive roof. By restoring your roof with Nutech Paint you give your home the look it deserves, greatly reduce heat absorption during warmer weather and extend the life considerably.

What type of roof can be restored?
With the correct Nutech primer nearly any roof surface can be restored including concrete/cement tiles, clay tiles, fibre cement sheet and tiles, coated and non-coated metal sheets, asphalt shingles etc. If the surface is in a very poor condition or there is underlying damage, then replacement may be required and your Nutech roofing professional will advise you as to the condition of your roof.

Is a primer necessary?
Invariably yes; different primers carry out different functions. High build primers for rough weatherd roof surfaces give more consistent and durable finish. Adhesion promoted primers ensure paint doesn’t peel from smooth surfaces like clay, and penetrating primers soak into powdery and fibrous surface to bond the surface ready for the top coating system.

I have a quote from a company who say the first of the two topcoats is a primer coat, is this true?
NO. A primer and topcoat are different coatings so cannot by definition be the same. Nutech Paint Roof Professional applicators always apply a specialist primer suited to your surface which is then followed by two topcoats to give three independent coats.

How long will it take?
That will depend upon factors such as size, roof condition and critically, the weather conditions. If cement repointing work is needed, pointing must be fully dry before coating, never on the same day, and each coat must be fully dry before the next one is applied. In ideal weather conditions, a coat may dry within 30minutes, but longer when it is cooler or more humid.

Is it a messy job?The removal of accumulated dirt, moss etc. can be a little messy, but your Nutech Roofing Professional will minimize this during cleaning with ground sheets etc, and your home will be left as clean as it was before the job, if not more so by the time your applicator leaves.

How long will the coating last?Nutech Paint carries a 12 year manufacturer’s warranty on the coatings, but life expectancy is nearer 20 years at which time it can simply be cleaned and recoated again. Beware of companies only offering their own warranty. If it is not backed by the coating manufacturer it is not a valid product warranty and may well be illegal. Nutech also offers full consumer peace of mind warranty with a full labor & material warranty. This means your warranty is with Nutech Paint direct, not the contractor of company that applied the coating. This system is only available to Nutech registered applicator.
